Weight Loss
Hill’s metabolic dog food can help your pet achieve an ideal weight. Packed full of proteins and fiber, this diet will make your pup feel satisfied without adding unnecessary calories to his daily intake. Plus, prebiotic fiber will aid digestion!
Cats and dogs with slow metabolisms can quickly become overweight due to their bodies storing excess fat as reserves in case they are subjected to starvation, even when given low-cal diets. Thus, even with reduced caloric intake from feeding low calorie food sources, your pet’s metabolism still slows to protect its reserves.
Hill’s nutritionalists and veterinarians have collaborated to design a clinical nutrition that works with your pet’s unique metabolism to support weight loss naturally. Through real, in-home trials they discovered that 96% of dogs and 88% of cats lost weight safely and easily with this diet; simply by altering how their metabolism uses energy over time they were able to keep losing weight for longer.
Digestive Health
Hill’s Prescription Diet Metabolic Weight Management Dog Food provides clinical nutrition that activates a pet’s unique metabolism. It reduces hunger and fat while keeping them active and healthy. This food features high levels of antioxidants and L-carnitine to promote fat burn while the fiber blend makes dogs feel full and cuts down hunger between meals. Plus, its ground texture is easy for digestion with an irresistibly delicious taste!
Many pet owners worry about the digestive health of their dogs, which can often result in digestive upset. Stress, diet changes or eating table scraps could all play a part in this. Hill’s metabolic line provides foods specifically formulated to address specific issues like GI inflammation or food sensitivities while improving digestion – both vital components of maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle diet for our canines.
Immune System
An immune system essential for canine well-being. It helps shield them from bacteria, viruses and parasites as well as cancer; regulate body metabolism; prevent autoimmune diseases like diabetes or heart disease; and keep their metabolism under control. Scientists have recently discovered that b-glucans can help stimulate and regulate the immune system to make it more responsive against external threats.
16 healthy client-owned dogs were fed either a whole food diet or extruded dry diet for 67 days in this controlled cross-over study, measuring leukocyte cytokine production (TNF-a, IL-6, IL-10, GM-CSF and IL-8 production), serum c-reactive protein concentrations, haptoglobin concentrations and serum amyloid A concentrations using flow cytometry measurements; additionally they underwent testing for phagocytosis/oxidative burst activities using flow cytometry measurements.
No significant differences were seen between the two groups for total leukocyte cytokine responses, TNF-a/IL-10 ratios or GM phagocytosis and E. coli-induced oxidative burst. Therefore, these results suggest that whole food diet may have immunomodulatory properties; however, further studies must be performed on non-healthy dogs before reaching any definitive conclusions about its use as an immunotherapy.
Energy Levels
The metabolic system provides energy to all living organisms for daily functions and creates new organic material like proteins and fats for use as building blocks in living cells. Furthermore, it ensures safe disposal of waste products.
Your pet’s metabolism depends on eating appropriate food and getting enough exercise, but if you are helping him shed excess weight, be wary that they don’t overindulge in treats or human food that could compromise it.
Studies have demonstrated that diets containing high amounts of fat slow stomach emptying, making it easier for dogs to feel satisfied after meals. Furthermore, high-fat diets increase intestinal wall permeability making fat-soluble vitamins easier for elderly or overweight dogs to absorb – particularly beneficial when they require help absorbing such vital nutrients.
